With the expansive available of the netbooks laptops are being challenged for their space in our lives. The Sony VAIO is one example that has a ton of features and storage space that a netbook cannot compete with and their line now offers more screen sizes making them more versatile. While the netbook has it’s place I certainly need my laptop when I travel in order to watch movies and stay connected to my friends with a modest sized keyboard. I believe that laptops will only get better as the competition grows from netbooks and the newer tablet devices like the iPad.
